Practitioners - We Need to Talk! IBD in adolescents and young adults: are we paying enough attention?
IBD peak onset sits between 15-29 years - yet we're still not talking about it enough. In this first of two posts, I explore the clinical landscape we can't ignore: the rising rates of Crohn's and colitis in teens, the gene-environment factors shaping risk, and what allied health practitioners can actually do to help. From the 16-year-old who should have been at footy training to the 14-year-old planning her life around toilet access - these are our patients. And they deserve practitioners who understand the terrain. A practical, evidence-informed look at prevention, early recognition, and where microbiome health fits in.
